Not much happening lately for me. Mostly getting myself ready to leave in January. Last drill we spent a day going over our paperwork and doing medical exams...and officially got our 90 day warning notice. I'm gonna miss halloween and my birthday again this year. We leave on halloween for...

I guess I've kinda become the designated TV appearance soldier for my unit. First there was the 4th of July...and this morning was the local news. One of the stations in town does a weekly morning news broadcast from a random city or town in the state. They get a bunch of local businesses to come out and people wake up extra early to get...

Well summer classes have started...and they suck. Being summer classes, they're all 3 hours long....which is hell on earth. Add in the fact that I missed the first week or so of classes because I was away at AT and I'm well behind the curve here.

My microeconomics professor seems to think the best way to teach is to lecture us for the entire 3...

So im home from my annual training. It was a long two weeks, hell it felt a lot longer than that. We did all kinds of stuff....crawling through sand and mud...running through the woods....driving down roads....oh and a lot of firing of blanks. For an artillery unit, we sure as hell don't do much artillery work. After my platoon finished all the training we ended...

So I'm here at AT, and its kinda fun. We've done a bunch of cool training, though im dead tired at the end of every day. The internet is kinda spotty here so I'm just saying hi. Send me lots of texts and stuff! More when I get home.

Well I'm starting to do my final packing for my annual training. I leave early Saturday morning, and I'll be home sometime between the 23rd and 25th. I'll have my laptop but no internet access probably, so if you wanna get in touch with me the only way is gonna be via text message.
